Before builder coverage expires
Use the one-year warranty window before it closes.
Boyce documents visible defects, performance concerns, and incomplete corrections so you can give the builder a clear report before the warranty deadline.
A final quality check
Months of living in the house reveal what closing day could not.
Seasonal weather, normal operation, and everyday use can expose drainage, moisture, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, finish, and installation concerns during the first year.
A warranty inspection gives you an organized record before you submit a builder request. It does not determine warranty coverage; it helps you document the conditions that deserve attention.
Schedule with enough time to review the report and communicate with the builder before the warranty expires.
What the work covers
A documented review of visible and accessible systems.
Cladding, roof edges, grading, drainage, sealants, and visible movement.
Accessible framing, insulation, ventilation, roof coverings, and penetrations.
Panels, representative devices, fixtures, water heater, and visible leaks.
Installed equipment, accessible distribution, and temperature observations.
Walls, ceilings, floors, doors, windows, cabinets, and finish defects.
Photos and plain-language descriptions organized for follow-up.
Independent guidance: The inspection documents observed conditions; the builder and warranty documents determine which items are covered.
“Give the builder a clear list while you still have the warranty window.”
The same-day digital report gives homeowners time to review findings and send organized documentation before the deadline.
Questions clients ask
Direct answers before you schedule.
What is included in a one-year warranty inspection?
The inspection reviews visible and accessible structural, roofing, exterior, attic, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior, and appliance conditions, with photos and recommendations.
When should I schedule the inspection?
Schedule before the builder warranty expires and leave time to submit the report. Many homeowners plan several weeks before the deadline.
Does the inspection guarantee the builder will make repairs?
